Never Create By Law What Can Be

The Laws Do Not Take Upon Them To Punish Any Other Than Overt Acts.

I Shall Ever Repeat It, That Mankind Are Governed Not By Extremes, But By Principals Of Moderation.

A Nation May Lose Its Liberties In A Day And Not Miss Them In A Century.

A Fondness For Reading Changes The Inevitable Dull Hours Of Our Life Into Exquisite Hours Of Delight.

When The Legislative And Executive Powers Are United In The Same Person, Or In The Same Body Of Magistrates, There Can Be No Liberty; Because Apprehensions May Arise, Lest The Same Monarch Or Senate Should Enact Tyrannical Laws, To Execute Them In A Tyrannical Manner.
